The Tom Thumb is a machine that I really like. I love the style and it's made in Michigan. They came in a few different styles but they all look similar with the only big difference being the height of the globe or the style of the base plate. The tall globe is much harder to find than the short. You can usually find these fairly easy and in pretty good condition. They also won't cost you a mint. The hardest thing to find on this machine is an original decal in good shape. All of these that I have seen have been green with the exception of a couple of red ones.
